McDATA-unaware features
Table 69 describes features that are unaware of M-EOS switches or fabrics and cannot be used
fabric-wide.
Table 70 describes a comprehensive matrix of feature support.
FICON and FICON CUP Fabric Binding is required for FICON support in mixed fabrics.
Cascaded CUP and Missing Interrupt Handler Process Timeout (MIHPTO),
which should be set to 60, are supported. Cascaded CUP is only
supported in McDATA Fabric mode.
Long distance The configure command displays the number of buffer credits allocated
to a port.
Name server
(nsShow, nsCamShow, nsAllShow) Displays the device PID with domain offset. For example, a host attached
to a switch with domain value 1 will have a default PID of 0x61AAPP.
Zone activation In McDATA Fabric mode, zone activations can be performed from any
switch.
In McDATA Open Fabric mode, zone activations can be performed from an
M-Series management tool, such as the Brocade Data Center Fabric
Manager (DFCM) management tool.
